"Check-in was a little tricky because a huge tour bus got off right in front of us so that took probably 45 minutes. But the property was nice and we could see the luau from our room."

Club Wyndham Mauna Loa Village

Club Wyndham Mauna Loa Village

10/10 Excellent
"Our August stay (after LaLa) at the Club Wyndham Mauna Loa was great! Recommend to others. Location: two blocks from Keauhou Bay where you can book many water activities like boat, fishing, kayak & snorkel tours for reasonable cost. The bay is a bit rocky but access is good for swimming, suggest aqua/river shoes; lots of fish. (Negnote: the locals should pack out there beer cans/trash at the BBQ area; yes we made a cursory attempt to pack some cans out.) Locals craft market fair nearby is very nice. Staff: Check in staff were great, they have a small snack/drink area. It is an established timeshare but no "hardsell" sales were made. Caleb was actually really helpful with info about the property with local grocery, food, activities, info etc.; Thanks. Accommodations: Our 1 bedroom suite for 4 was great, clean, functional, nice kitchen, A/C (living room & bedroom), 2 flat TV's, refrigerator/plenty of ice, blender, coffee maker, ceiling fan, comfy bed. Parking was underground - shaded. Many nice pools to choose from, water is warm, great sunsets, lots of colorful birds. Golf, tennis, racket & pickle ball available. We rented a car but; onsite bikes with baskets & you could go to to local markets. A shuttle/carpool to Kona would be nice where parking is $12.50 per hour NO CASH - no cell service NO PARKING; goes for a lot local beaches too. Embrace more Solar Power. Beware of the billionaires kicking out millionaires. Mahalo."

10/10 Excellent
"I enjoyed the property. We got there at 10:30 pm, security explained everything to us and was very friendly. The resort interior was like Golden Girls decor style(1970’s beachy) it was great. The handle on the dryer popped off but talked to the property mgr and he mentioned it happens, response time was really quick too. A great place to stay and the location was perfect for what we needed."
